I’m looking at EVs or PHEVs and was wondering what I need at home. I know I can charge with a standard 110 outlet, but what about a 220? Would I be able to charge directly from it or do I have to get a charger installed?

Thank you

    Lithium batteries can only charge very slowly if below freezing. Anything over a trickle can damage them. That’s damage that can cause a fire. Is that overly conservative for you?

    Different battery chemistries have differing tolerances to cold charging. You cannot just transfer charge parameters between chemistries.
